Hi Lyle, the quotes we have received are about R110,000.00 for a 12m container, excluding a whole lot of fees that will be calculated at destination

Not sure how that compares with the ones you've received?

What size container are you looking at taking? And are you shipping a car, or just your household effects?

Hi,

There are several companies that provide such services. I prefer Velogic because they have a solid group behind them and fully recommend their services.

I would love to give you the contact details of their Manager of Sea Operations but will refrain to do so as this seems to be against the rules.

PM me if you wish or just contact them directly.

cheers

Hi Lyle

It is expensive. I have just arrived in Mauritius and it cost 34 K to ship 17 boxes (40 cubic metres) from Jbh. Used Brytons - good service.

Hi Dahnae

I am sure @ElaineO will have answers to your questions above, but also bear in mind that if you decide to BUY property on the island to obtain a Residence/Occupation permit, then there is a small window of 3 months AFTER you have obtained your RP/OP within which you can bring in 1 container of household belongings tax-free, otherwise you will also need to add Import Duty on the value of your container of household goods - as you will have to do in any case with the car.
